John Romero has upgraded to asking Sandy Petersen if he's well.

Sandy's tweet

How Doom changed the world.

In 1991 I worked on the game Command HQ with Dan Bunten, who later became Danielle Berry. ANYWAY, Command HQ is of historical importance, because as near as I can tell, it was the first real-time strategy game. Dan thought that since 65% of gamers had modems it would mostly be played head-to-head. It bombed. I think it had about 40,000 sales.

Later I went to id Software and got to work on Doom. We all agreed at id that it was unlikely anyone would ever play Deathmatch, except in very small numbers. After all zero games had a robust head-to-head experience, and my personal time with Command HQ just hammered home the point.

However, everyone at id loved Deathmatch, so we kept it in the game. We figured, even if no one else played it, WE could keep doing it.

We were entirely wrong. I don't know if Doom's Deathmatch exploded because there were more networks to play on, or if Doom was so compelling everyone had to try it, or if a critical mass of modems had finally been reached. Maybe it was because Doom was a hit with the college kids, all of whom had ready access to networks.

Anyway, Deathmatch skyrocketed and that's what made Doom famous really. We were by no means the first first-person shooter. But we were the first game to make the player-vs-player model universal.

Today, a game that DOESN'T have a PvP has to explain why. I am extremely proud of that, even if it wasn't entirely our doing.

John's tweet

Hi Sandy. Are you well? This is wrong. On January 1, 1993, we sent a press release saying that multiplayer would be in DOOM, a full 8 months before you joined the company. We knew deathmatch would be huge. In that press release, in January 1993, we said multiplayer would be "the number one cause of decreased productivity in businesses around the world." We were sure of it, and we needed no convincing. I understand you are proud of your work on DOOM, and you should be, but please also respect the accuracy of your statements, particularly around game history. My concern is that these false statements are designed to trigger replies (like this one), reposts, and outrage discussion, all with the view of increasing your followers and subscriptions, particularly since this false deathmatch story (among others) is so easily disproved. I’ve even welcomed you to reach out to me ahead of time. You seem to appreciate game history as much as I do. Could you not also make yours accurate?

It is the most Uchikoshi thing imaginable that nobody can tell if this is legitimate and upsetting, or an elaborate ARG/soft ennouncment for a new Zero Escape game ?????????

I never thought I’d see the day where I genuinely feel like Zero Escape 4 has more of a chance of happening than Ace Attorney 7 lol

i am very, extremely normal about zero escape. i can be trusted with my emotions about a possible new zero escape. i am calm. i am zen. i did not send a very garbled, mispelled discord message to my friend that said 'UCHIKOSHI IS ON THE MOVE'

it's called zero escape because all of their investors escaped and they have zero dollars left

Uchikoshi announcing things in the most Uchikoshi way possible so now no one knows if Zero Escape 4 is a real game that's being teased or a game that got cancelled.

1000xRESIST is about time. 1000xRESIST is about rebellion. 1000xRESIST is about mothers and daughters and matricide. 1000xRESIST is about forgetting... 1000xRESIST is about remembering. 1000xRESIST is 40% off on Steam as part of LudoNarraCon.
